This work presents a frequency-domain method for estimating incident and reflected waves when normally incident waves’ propagating over a sloping beach in a wave flume is considered. Linear wave shoaling is applied to determine changes of the wave amplitude and phase due to variations of the bathymetry. The wave reflection coefficient is estimated using wave heights measured at two fixed wave gauges with a distance. The present model demonstrates a high capacity of estimating reflection and shoaling coefficients from synthetic wave-amplitude data. Sensitivity tests for the present model due to measurement errors of wave amplitudes and distance of two probes can more accurately predict the reflection coefficients. The measurement error of wave amplitude affects more significantly than measurement error of distance of two probes on calculating reflection coefficient of waves over a sloping bed. 相似文献
The aim of the paper was to document the use of 3D subsurface geological-geotechnical modelling to optimise the planning and development of subsurface structures in city areas. The proposed procedure was applied to the analysis of the subsoil of the City of Turin (Northern Italy). The results of more than 300 boreholes were analysed to develop a model of the geological setting up to a depth of 60 m from the surface. The cementation variability of the alluvial sediments was also spatially described and the influence of this aspect on the soil excavation resistance was highlighted. In order to face the need of archiving, correlating and analysing a large amount of data, a 3D GIS (Geographical Information System) was used to better manage the model and to achieve a useful methodological reference that would be available for the planning and construction of future underground works.
A portion of the geological model, related to the centre of the city of Turin (Italy), was chosen to set up a more detailed geotechnical model, based on laboratory tests and back-analysis procedures, as data input for some engineering applications.
Two case studies were performed concerning:
– analyses used to forecast the subsidence induced on the ground surface by the excavation of the metro line;
– the influence of the works of the metro line on the new Underground Railway Link (interference between two important underground works).
A comparison between the forecasts of the degree of cementation, supplied by the 3D model along a metro tunnel tract, and the excavation specific energy effectively absorbed by the head of the boring machine is reported to testify the reliability of the model of the subsoil of Turin centre. This comparison shows the good reliability of the model and its potential to choose of the optimal boring machines for the future development of the Underground Metro System in Turin. 相似文献
In the Guadix-Baza Basin (Betic Cordillera) lies the Baza Fault, a structure that will be described for the first time in
this paper. Eight gravity profiles and a seismic reflection profile, coupled with surface studies, indicate the existence
of a NE-dipping normal fault with a variable strike with N-S and NW-SE segments. This 37-km long fault divides the basin into
two sectors: Guadix to the West and Baza to the East. Since the Late Miocene, the activity of this fault has created a half-graben
in its hanging wall. The seismic reflection profile shows that the fill of this 2,000–3,000 m thick asymmetric basin is syntectonic.
The fault has associated seismicity, the most important of which is the 1531 Baza earthquake. Since the Late Tortonian to
the present, i.e. over approximately the last 8 million years, extension rates obtained vary between 0.12 and 0.33 mm/year
for the Baza Fault, being one of the major active normal faults to accommodate the current ENE–WSW extension produced in the
central Betic Cordillera. The existence of this fault and other normal faults in the central Betic Cordillera enhanced the
extension in the upper crust from the Late Miocene to the present in this regional compressive setting. 相似文献
